Gluten Free Blueberry Cinnamon Pancakes

I enjoy pancakes for brunch. The combination of blueberries and cinnamon is one of my favorites. Easy and delicious!

1/2 cup white sorghum flour

1/2 rice flour

1 tablespoon stevia

2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder

1 teaspoon xanthan gum

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2 cups fresh blueberries

3 tablespoons lemon zest

1 cup almond milk

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 large egg, room temperature

3 tablespoons melted butter

Combine the dry ingredients. Blend milk, lemon juice, zest, egg, and melted butter. Add to the dry. Fold in fresh blueberries. Add more milk to the batter if the consistency is too thick for you.

Heat a lightly buttered griddle or frying pan over medium heat. When griddle or pan is hot, pour 4 1/4 cup of the batter into the griddle, cook until bubbles appear on the surface (about 1 to 1.5 minutes). Flip over and cook a further 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

Early Inspiration

As a young girl living on a small island in the South Pacific, Mia frequently visited her beloved grandma who lived in a tiny countryside village. Though her grandma only had a tiny kitchen with no refrigerator and a makeshift outdoor stove, she enjoyed cooking everything from scratch using fresh ingredients that she herself organically raised and farmed... with lots of love!

Mia has long since sampled a wide variety of unique foods from around the world, but her inspiration, passion, and appreciation for REAL food still originates from her Grandma. Mia tries to source everything from local farms or farmers markets when possible, using mostly fresh, wild, pastured, or organic ingredients.
